Schlikk Calls vs SMS Filter
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Schlikk Calls
Raise the volume on call - no need to turn up notifications Grant permission READ_PHONE_STATE (mandatory) to get the basic functionality. On incoming call the volume is adjusted to your preference. After the call the volume is reset to the previous setting. If your phone is in DoNotDisturb mode however, nothing is changed. Enable reading of the phone numbers so that the app can see who is calling you. With this you can set a different volume for each number. Grant permission ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY (optional) to enable the app to toggle your phone's DoNotDisturb mode. With this you can mark numbers as important. The app will deactivate DoNotDisturb mode iff an important number calls you.
SMS Filter
SMS Filter can filter incoming SMS messages before they reach your inbox. You can filter by address, and optionally add parts that must occur in the message for it to be blocked. By default, SMS Filter will not delete incoming messages. You will get a silent status bar notification when SMS Filter has filtered an incoming message, which you can view by opening the notification or by opening the application. You can also tell SMS Filter to delete incoming messages, in which case it will happily do so for you. To do this, just turn off the 'Save messages' preference.
